TPU 98A Grey

Starting from 32,95 

The TPU 98A is a high-performance flexible filament designed for industrial and professional applications. A member of the thermoplastic elastomer family, this material combines mechanical strength, elasticity and durability durability. Its hardness Shore 98A gives it a texture akin to rigid rubberproviding excellent stability while retaining controlled flexibility.

Key features

  • ⚙️ Balanced hardness (Shore 98A)

    Perfect compromise between flexibility and rigidity, ideal for functional parts requiring strength and damping.

  • 🔁 Up to 190% elongation

    Excellent elasticity: the material regains its shape without permanent deformation.

  • 🔥 Heat resistance up to 140°C

    Maintains its mechanical properties even in high-temperature environments.

  • 💧 Waterproofing and chemical resistance

    Unaffected by water, oil and grease, TPU 98A is ideal for technical applications and demanding environments.

  • 🧩 Compatibility

    Recommended for Direct Drive Direct Drive printers.

    Printing on Bowden system system is still possible, provided that filament speed and tension are adapted.

Recommended applications

Wear parts, soft gaskets, shock absorbers, soles, flexible hinges, protective shells, or any component requiring both resilience and controlled deformation.

Why choose TPE / TPU for your 3D printing projects?

A strong, flexible filament

The TPU / TPE Francofil is a flexible filament with excellent elasticity. Ideal for parts requiring flexibility and durability, it resists impact, abrasion and repeated twisting. It's the perfect choice for creating functional objects such as gaskets, soles, protections or shock-absorbing mechanical parts.

2. Solid, practical prints

Thanks to its optimal adhesion and good mechanical resistance, TPU / TPE enables us to produce parts that are both robust and flexible. Its ability to retain its properties even after deformation makes it indispensable for demanding applications, while offering a meticulous surface finish.

3. A versatile material for your technical needs

Unlike PLA or PETG, TPU / TPE offers real added value in areas where flexibility is essential. It opens up new possibilities for printing functional prototypes, technical objects and flexible spare parts.
